it will be 214 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,160 uh a very Dynamic investment 215 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,440 um connecting two neighborhoods 216 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,440 connecting different spaces I personally 217 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,959 love it due to its proximity to 218 00:11:39,959 --> 00:11:41,320 sometimes this may be hard for you to 219 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,079 believe it's hard to get disconnected 220 00:11:43,079 --> 00:11:44,760 from people who are across the river on 221 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,920 the other side um but we think that this 222 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,959 is a great little project to help bridge 223 00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:51,040 uh due its proximity to Route 7 and 224 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,040 getting back and forth it'll be um a 225 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,560 really great spot for people to commute 226 00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:56,760 to other places as well so uh we're 227 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,800 excited to go if things go as planned 228 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,320 um picture 229 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:06,560 a 20 what year are we in uh 2026 2027 230 00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:08,360 finish it'll be about a two-year project 231 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,639 uh two-year construction project thank 232 00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:12,440 you very much appreciate your support 233 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,279 thank 234 00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:16,480 you I have no one else signed up to 235 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,120 speak for public hearing number one so I 236 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,360 declare this public hearing 237 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,920 closed public hearing number two is 238 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,720 regarding amending certain provisions of 239 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,079 chapter 161 of the skincity code 240 00:12:27,079 --> 00:12:31,040 entitled garbage rep rubbish and refu I 241 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,160 have two people signed up to 242 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:42,430 speak uh the first person is Joe 243 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,040 Anderson good evening members of the 244 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,199 common Council and the mayor my name is 245 00:12:48,199 --> 00:12:50,600 Joe Anderson and I'm the president of 246 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:51,440 local 247 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,160 1037 I stand before you today to address 248 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,000 the matter that deeply affects our 249 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,199 community specifically the proposed char 250 00:12:59,199 --> 00:13:01,440 charges for Waste bag fees for our 251 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,959 residents as we all know many of our 252 00:13:03,959 --> 00:13:05,839 residents are facing significant 253 00:13:05,839 --> 00:13:08,560 financial challenges a considerable 254 00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:10,600 portion of our community relies on 255 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,279 assistance to make ends meet introducing 256 00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:15,639 a fee structure that charges residents 257 00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:18,800 for Waste bags could impose a additional 258 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,560 burden on those who are already 259 00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:23,639 struggling while the proposed fee for 260 00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:26,920 $2.50 per bag may seem reasonable to 261 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,880 some we must consider a broad Brad the 262 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,240 broader implications of such a policy 263 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,760 for many families every dollar counts 264 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,959 and this fee could mean the difference 265 00:13:37,959 --> 00:13:40,320 between affording basic necessities or 266 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,320 not I understand that the council the 267 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,519 mayor and the commissioner have raised 268 00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:47,839 valid concerns regarding the so-called 269 00:13:47,839 --> 00:13:50,759 jackpots those larger items that require 270 00:13:50,759 --> 00:13:53,000 special attention during waste 271 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,480 collection we all recognize that these 272 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,440 items pose a challenge for our labor 273 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,480 loaders who work tires ly to keep our 274 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,000 city clean and safe however however 275 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000 rather though rather than opposing those 276 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000 fees that could further straining our 277 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,519 residents I urge you to explore 278 00:14:10,519 --> 00:14:13,040 alternative solutions that address these 279 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,360 concerns without penalizing those who 280 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,959 are already vulnerable one suggestion 281 00:14:17,959 --> 00:14:20,680 that I put forth is some residents to 282 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,480 travel to City Hall to purchase stickers 283 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,240 for the pickup of these larger items 284 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,320 while these may seem like 285 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,560 straightforward solution 286 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,399 we must acknowledge that many residents 287 00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:33,600 struggle with the cost associated with 288 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,199 travel not to mention time and effort 289 00:14:36,199 --> 00:14:38,720 required to navigate City 290 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,320 processes this approach could 291 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,079 inadvertently create barriers for those 292 00:14:44,079 --> 00:14:47,320 who need assistance the most instead I 293 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,519 propose that we consider implementing a 294 00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:52,800 service called municipay offered by Auto 295 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,600 agent Data Solutions LLC or a similar 296 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,040 service this platform allows res 297 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,040 residents to select items that they need 298 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,880 picked up and paid for the service 299 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,360 online by adapting the 300 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,560 system we can streamline the process for 301 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,839 addressing jackpots while also 302 00:15:10,839 --> 00:15:13,759 generating revenue for the city the the 303 00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:15,720 solution not only simplifies the 304 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,800 experience for residents but also 305 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,440 ensures that we are not placing 306 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,759 additional Financial burdens on those 307 00:15:21,759 --> 00:15:24,560 who are already facing hardships 308 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,360 furthermore this proposal can work in 309 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,959 tandem with the mayor's budget proposal 310 00:15:28,959 --> 00:15:32,519 osal for a dollar per week or $52 per 311 00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:35,079 year increase in waste collection fees 312 00:15:35,079 --> 00:15:37,759 for non-t tax exempt properties this 313 00:15:37,759 --> 00:15:39,759 modest increase in Revenue will help 314 00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:42,040 offset the rising cost associated with 315 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,279 waste collection we support this 316 00:15:44,279 --> 00:15:46,440 increase and encourage the exploration 317 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,839 of those other options to enhance 318 00:15:48,839 --> 00:15:51,399 revenues and reduce costs related to 319 00:15:51,399 --> 00:15:53,959 waste collection for the city in 320 00:15:53,959 --> 00:15:56,360 conclusion I urge the council to 321 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,120 reconsider the proposed waste bag fees 322 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,839 and explore more Equitable solutions 323 00:16:01,839 --> 00:16:04,040 that prior prioritize the well-being of 324 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,839 our residents let's work together find a 325 00:16:06,839 --> 00:16:08,440 path forward that addresses these 326 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,440 challenges of waste collection while 327 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,600 ensuring that our community members are 328 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,440 not left behind thank you for your time 329 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,829 and consideration thank 330 00:16:18,839 --> 00:16:21,120 you I have no one else signed up to 331 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,160 speak for public hearing number two so I 332 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,880 declare this public here I have oh okay 333 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,560 all right um we do have some written 334 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,759 comments with that were uh submitted 335 00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:35,399 Deputy clerk sign to speak oh okay so 336 00:16:35,399 --> 00:16:36,480 you're for both of them you want to be 337 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:37,519 on both of them because you're on there 338 00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:40,480 twice okay so miss on the for the 339 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,079 garbage okay I signed up okay go Miss 340 00:16:43,079 --> 00:16:46,110 Donan 341 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,319 yeah I just put that down a little hello 342 00:16:49,319 --> 00:16:52,600 oh um yeah I'm speaking on the garbage 343 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,399 issue I know it's just proposed but I 344 00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:58,279 the article in the newspaper uh like the 345 00:16:58,279 --> 00:17:01,759 speaker before for that $52 fee seems 346 00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:04,240 very reasonable to bring in extra 347 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,160 Revenue but I have a few concerns uh it 348 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,760 does mention there's a nuisance officer 349 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,439 that would go and be responsible for 350 00:17:15,439 --> 00:17:19,039 deciding who's in violation or not and 351 00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:22,640 uh if is that person already on staff or 352 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,880 is that going to be a new hire that 353 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,400 would be a question um and is that 354 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,679 nuisance officer U responsible then for 355 00:17:31,679 --> 00:17:34,120 collecting the fees and everything else 356 00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:36,400 that might be involved in violating the 357 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,520 proposed garbage plan and the other I 358 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,520 mean one thing I hope you do 359 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,400 consider is that plastic bags I realize 360 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,600 it might be easier to just run along and 361 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,320 take you know a couple bags at a time 362 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,159 and throw them in the dumpster however 363 00:17:55,159 --> 00:17:57,679 on the streets we have a a lot of 364 00:17:57,679 --> 00:17:59,799 squirrels and other their animals but 365 00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:04,159 they rip through the bags and if you go 366 00:18:04,159 --> 00:18:06,400 down the street on a day that the 367 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,720 garbage is waiting to be picked up they many just get torn and then the 368 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,799 garbage is on the street and that I 369 00:18:13,799 --> 00:18:16,440 would not expect the collectors to clean 370 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,240 that up at all that I believe homeowners 371 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,559 for what happens now but most of our 372 00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:25,320 stuff will be in the in 373 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,960 cans and that was something else I had 374 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,480 you would consider um a lot of it did 375 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,880 say 376 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,400 5bs the one of the quotes of 5 pounds 377 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,559 per day per person and I'm figuring a 378 00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:43,000 lot of households might be a four-person 379 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,039 household which would be like 20 lb per 380 00:18:46,039 --> 00:18:47,080 person 381 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,919 or 140 lb per week that 382 00:18:51,919 --> 00:18:55,520 one uh apartment dweller could put out 383 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,400 parent two children and that's that's a 384 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,600 lot of garbage being put out um and if 385 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,919 it's in bags again I caution the real 386 00:19:07,919 --> 00:19:10,880 how bags can be split going from the 387 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,280 regular garbage size that we have now 388 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,919 probably a 30 gallon up to a 45 gallon 389 00:19:16,919 --> 00:19:19,200 even though a lot of 45 gallons are on 390 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,280 Wheels but older people like me I will 391 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,320 tell you navigating a 45 gallon 392 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,240 container is difficult I I mean even 393 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,640 though it is on Wheels and I would um 394 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:33,840 ask that 395 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,400 perhaps that be reconsidered to keep our 396 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,679 I guess the 30 gallon if it weren't 397 00:19:40,679 --> 00:19:43,480 being considered what do all the 398 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,880 homeowners do with all their 30 gallon 399 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,080 trash cans that they have 400 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,240 already and 401 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:56,480 um um yeah that was big concern and I 402 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,880 noticed in the article you prob Maybe 403 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,440 the article didn't have it but um 404 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,799 recycling wasn't mentioned nor were the 405 00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:07,400 leaf bags mentioned I know there's a 406 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,240 short period for leaf bags but I I would 407 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,039 hope that that would be continued along 408 00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:16,039 with the um the 409 00:20:16,039 --> 00:20:19,919 recycling and that those are my concerns 410 00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:21,200 I thank 411 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,960 you goodbye thank you thanks thank 412 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,039 you okay we do have some written 413 00:20:28,039 --> 00:20:32,909 comments that were 414 00:20:32,919 -->

from former 432 00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:17,000 councilman Vincent riggy um who actually 433 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,320 requested his email be read and in its 434 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,520 entirety his email reads Madame 435 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,320 President and council members I would 436 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,880 like to express my opinion on the 437 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,720 proposed change in the waste disposal 438 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,000 for City residents by limiting the 439 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,360 amount of waste a household can place at 440 00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:37,279 the curb will lead to more litter than 441 00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:40,120 we have right now leading to more demand 442 00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:42,760 and on the more demand and on the city's 443 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,480 limited resources many households like 444 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,760 ours of two do not generate 445 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,840 much do not generate much waste so my 446 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,840 question is can we Bank the gallons of 447 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,360 waste that we do not produce 448 00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:58,039 weekly if this change is adopted and we 449 00:21:58,039 --> 00:22:00,400 are allowed 91 gallons per week I think 450 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,320 it would be only fair for a household to 451 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,440 bank the unused weekly gallons in case 452 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,880 of a household cleanup a party or in 453 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:07,880 case of 454 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,279 bellw case of bellw this past week 455 00:22:10,279 --> 00:22:12,159 having four days added to our normal 456 00:22:12,159 --> 00:22:15,279 pickup pickup due to two holidays when 457 00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:16,960 the trash fee was adopted by the city 458 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,120 council 20 years ago the premise was 459 00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:21,080 sold to the council by the 460 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,840 administration proclaiming that the city 461 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,840 will remove anything legal by city code 462 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,640 placed at the curb now for 2025 463 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:28,960 residents will be char charge with 464 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,080 higher fees and if this code changes if 465 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,960 this code change is adopted we will be 466 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,840 limited to the amount that we can put at 467 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,320 the curb along with charges for extra 468 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,039 gallons along with white pick white 469 00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:42,320 goods pickup a true example of shrink 470 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,279 flation paying more and getting 471 00:22:45,279 --> 00:22:48,039 less another eological fear is people 472 00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:49,559 being over the gallon limit while 473 00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:51,840 placing their trash or white

there are chronic abusers of the 477 00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,960 current system but why should the 478 00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:01,960 majority of Residential Properties be 479 00:23:01,960 -->

blown around through the neighborhood or 497 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,600 scattered by 498 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,919 scavengers written comment number five 499 00:23:49,919 --> 00:23:52,080 from
